Chapter 155
"Chile River, under the Yin Mountains, the sky is like a dome, covering all the fields. The sky is vast and the fields are vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep.
"A melodious song floated on the grassland, and a Hun man riding a horse with a long bow on his back waved his whip and drove away his herds and sang loudly. (Note: The textbook of "Chi Lechuan" says it is a Xianbei folk song, which I personally think needs to be discussed.
Because after the destruction of the Huns, the Xianbei took advantage of the situation to rise and must have inherited the culture of the Huns, and folk songs were also one of them.
In addition, there were few records of the Huns in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and later there were more records of the Xianbei, so this folk song was passed down in the name of the Xianbei folk song. This is just my personal opinion, let’s take a look, let’s go.)
The autumn is high and the horses are fat, and it is the time when the herds are fat. The horses are strong and the cows are fat and the sheep are growing. They always look so pleasant. The man was very happy to see his herds reproduce and murmured: "I don't have to worry about eating this winter, so I don't have to go to the Southern Dynasty to harass you anymore. You can have a stable winter.
”
One of the important reasons for the Huns to harass China was to transfer the difficulties of life. For example, if there were snow disasters on the grassland, many livestock were killed and injured, and the livelihoods were difficult to maintain in the coming year, then war would inevitably occur, and the Huns would definitely plunder China.
Correspondingly, as long as there is no snow disaster on the grassland, livestock has not decreased, and livelihoods are safe, the Huns generally will not harass them. Of course, there are also cases where the Hun nobles led their troops south for their own future, and there are quite a few times.
A loud eagle cries sounded in the air. The man looked up and saw a goshawk rushing towards a lamb with his wings.
The man shouted, "You beast, be bold!" He took the longbow on his back, bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the goshawks, and then shot three arrows, all of which shot the goshawks, and the goshawks screamed in a tragic sound.
He flapped his wings and fell to the ground, and then he was so angry that he was so angry that he flapped a few times.
The man rode his horse, flapped his wrist, and his whip flew out like a poisonous snake, wrapped around the goshawk, turning around and shooting at the man as if he was alive. The man reached out to catch it and looked at the goshawk.
He sneered: "The beasts who don't know the heights actually dare to act harshly in front of me, Lanzhi, and seek death!" He pulled out the arrow from the eagle's body, put his lips on, and sucked the eagle's blood flowing out of the wound.
After sucking the eagle's blood, Lanzhi put the eagle into his skin, waved his horse whip, and continued to grazing the herd.
"The Great Shanyu has an order: all adult men bring your bows. Take your arrows, put on your ground armor, say goodbye to your beloved woman, ride a horse, and go to the camp of the Right Xian King within three days." A Hun rider rushed over.
It conveyed the will of the Great Shanyu from afar.
Lan Zhi's whip made a crisp sound and sighed: "I can't sleep well this winter! I'm fine this year, why go to fight the Southern Dynasty? Our cattle, sheep and animal herds are more than in previous years. What kind of battle is this?"
Although there is a saying that the Huns can live their whole life on horseback. But that is an exaggeration and impossible.
The Huns and the Chinese people have the same mentality, that is, they can have a stable life and not have to worry about food and clothing. As long as they do not encounter livelihood difficulties, it is best not to fight.
As for Maodun later unified the Huns' divisions and launched a large-scale military force against the Western Han Dynasty, it was no longer just a failure to plunder.
Already with political ambitions, he wanted to conquer the Central Plains and make the Han people surrender, causing disaster to the worse. China suffered the most serious threat from foreign enemies in history.
It was precisely because he knew how great the threats the Huns were later and how tragic the people of the frontier were that Zhou Chong decided to take advantage of the general principles of Qin Shihuang's reign to completely solve the problem of the Huns, and to guide the King of Qin to use troops against the Huns.
Lan Zhi drove the herd back to the camp. All the tribesmen who were grazing with him rushed back. They were all dressed in order and prepared to report to the Youxian King Camp.
"Lanzhi. Hurry up, we'll wait for you." A man who was close to Lanzhi shouted from afar.
Lan Zhiying said, "Hey, wait for me for a while. I will say goodbye to my woman, look at my baby and leave."
"Lanzhi, we are men, eagles in the desert, how can we entangle women? You are too unmanly." Another middle-aged man sneered and said, "You might as well lie on your woman's chest and don't come down!"
It immediately attracted a lot of laughter.
Lan Zhi not only did not feel embarrassed, but instead smiled and said, "You said it very well. I want to lie on my woman's warm chest, but the big Shanyu refused to let him go, he wanted us to go to war."
"Lanzhi, why are you so bad? What's wrong with fighting? When we went to the Southern Dynasty, we had gold, silver, jewelry, silk, porcelain, tea, and beautiful women from the Southern Dynasty.
"Another Hun man smiled maliciously and said, "Let me tell you, the women in the Southern Dynasty are much gentler than our Hun women. They have a slim waist, a white and tender face, and a soft and soft chest. You will definitely not want to get up when you lie on it.
"When he spoke, his face flushed.
Lan Zhi sighed: "You know that women are good for neighbors.
The Great Huns and the Southern Dynasties are like neighbors. When you have the Huns, you think that the women in the Southern Dynasties are better than the women in our Huns. In fact, it is not the same thing. Women are the same. Women in the Southern Dynasties are better. The women in our Huns are not bad either. My women are the best!"
"Do you go or not? If you don't go, we'll leave. If you want to go, hurry up and clean up, always stand and chat about women." A Hun man was a little impatient.
Lan Zhi shook his head helplessly and said, "Can I not go? You guys wait, it will be fine soon." He turned around and entered the tent.
"Don't look at the sound of Lanzhi's words, I don't believe that he would not be moved when he saw the women of the Southern Dynasty. If he was not moved, the old cat would not be greedy when he saw the live fish." Several Hun men muttered.
Not long after, Lan Zhi came out of the tent accompanied by his woman and said, "Let's go." He flew onto the horse.
Several Hun men stepped onto the war horses and were about to gallop away as soon as they pulled the reins. At this moment, a shocking sound of hooves sounded. Everyone was surprised. Looking at the sound, they saw a smooth water line appearing at the sound coming, which was flowing towards them.
After a while, the waterline gradually became clear. It turned out that a team of cavalry was speeding, with tall horses, like tigers, horses like dragons, flags fluttering, and extraordinary momentum.
"Cabin, cavalry!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
Lan Zhi looked at it for a while and said, "What a majestic formation, it runs as solid as a mountain!"
"Yes, yes, it must be the Great Chanyu headquarters, otherwise it would not have such momentum." The middle-aged Hun man cheered: "I have seen the Great Chanyu headquarters, this momentum. Oh, no, it is a little worse than this momentum.
”
"Quick, line up, line up, welcome the Great Chanyu!" Everyone was excited and lined up neatly, ready to welcome the Great Chanyu, which was mythical to them.
Lan Zhi's eyes were sharp, and he saw clearly that the flag of the cavalry was not the Shanyu flag, and exclaimed: "Prepare for battle, this is not the troops of the Great Shanyu headquarters, but from the Southern Dynasty, from the Southern Dynasty!"
"Lanzhi, do you think it's a waste? Except for the troops of the Great Shanyu headquarters, it is impossible to have such a mighty aura." Everyone didn't believe it at all.
Just when they were shocked and suspicious, they saw a dazzling light coming. It was countless sabers unsheathed, refracting the sunlight. It was so spectacular.
The Qin-like banner was particularly dazzling in the sun. The cavalry commander Meng Tian led the ground to the ground to swell through the grassland like a tide. Behind them were the blood, meat, and broken Xiongnu camps.
